The list of proposed cuts has not yet been made, but Steiner said they would be “massive.”
“The cut would be massive... We will have to go through every aspect of what we do and eliminate anything that is not essential to getting students to graduate,” he said.
The substitute levy, which would not raise taxes, is for general operating. It represents about 10% of the district’s operating budget, and the amount of revenue collected by the levy is $1,715,680.
According to November election results, 58.54% of voters were against and 41.46% were for the levy.
Steiner said before the election that without the levy, the district would have to “look at making dramatic cuts.” He said the levy is roughly the equivalent to 17 teachers and their total benefits packages, but that other things, such as busing, extracurriculars, anything not essential to graduating students, would go before teachers.
